I'm a villain in the movies and TV series "All Heavens".

Chapter 342 We agreed to spar, but you're not showing any martial ethics!

"What are you thinking? He is now the emperor of a country. How could he be as petty as you think?"

Compared to the others, Robin, who overthrew the World Government and indirectly helped her avenge the extermination of her clan, had a good impression of Mo Fei.

"You're right, but that envoy this morning actually treated me like a pet, that was just too much! Chopper is so angry!"

After Robin's words dispelled his fear, Chopper remembered how Lappie had treated him like a pet when she invited them that morning.

"What are you angry about? Being a pet is great. I want to be Nami's pet, snuggling in her arms every day. Oh, by the way... Nami, may I see your underwear?"

"Go to hell, you lecherous bastard!... Ah!"

……

When the Straw Hat crew arrived at the palace amidst their noisy chatter, Mo Fei, who had received advance notice, had already arranged for a grand feast to be prepared to entertain the true protagonists of this group of pirates.

Sitting in the main seat at the banquet, Mo Fei was truly ashamed of the Straw Hat crew's bizarre composition when he saw them filing in from outside the hall.

A thief navigator, a wanted translator, a lecherous cook, a robot, a skeletal musician, and a veterinarian—this combination, coupled with Luffy, the second-generation pirate, and his henchman Zoro, makes for a truly unforgettable ensemble.

"Luffy, it's been a long time since we last met. Have you lost the courage to challenge me after all this time?"

Luffy, this super-durable rubber sandbag, is probably quite handy to use.

After their last battle, perhaps Luffy was intentionally allowed to grow for a while. I wonder how far he has grown now.

Faced with Mo Fei's sarcasm, Luffy unusually did not offer much of a rebuttal this time.

During his time in Mary Geoise, both his father Dragon and Shanks made special trips to meet with him and explained their general plans.

However, these two clearly did not know Luffy very well.

When he learned that someone wanted to exploit his three-battle agreement with Mo Fei, the goal that once motivated him to become stronger became a burden.

"Doflamingo, I want to fight you one last time, but this battle is only about winning or losing, and does not include any bets."

If I lose, I, Luffy, will henceforth serve under your command.

But if I win, I don't need you to be my subordinate. All I need is a pass that grants me access to all the levels of the Empire.

"really?"

Luffy's words made him overjoyed, as he was still thinking about how to entice Luffy to issue a challenge. He immediately asked to confirm whether it was true or not.

After receiving confirmation from Luffy and a notification from the system that the mission had been changed, Mo Fei was in a great mood and immediately had someone arrange the duel venue.

"Luffy, why did you suddenly decide you didn't want to take me on as your crew? But this decision has definitely saved me a lot of trouble."

In high spirits, Mo Fei had someone arrange seating for the group while he went to Luffy's side to inquire about the reason for his sudden change of the bet.

Since it concerns his father and his savior, Luffy naturally doesn't want to reveal the truth.

After stammering and making excuses for Mo Fei, she simply went into binge-eating mode on the spot, stuffing herself until she was bulging with food, completely cutting off Mo Fei's chance to strike up a conversation.

It seems this kid has suffered some kind of blow, but in this pirate world, I'm not afraid of anyone now.

Faced with absolute strength, no matter what schemes or tricks they may use, they can always meet them head-on.

Since Luffy was unwilling to talk to him, Mo Fei's gaze naturally turned to Zoro, the Straw Hat Pirates' most favored member.

"You must be Roronoa Zoro. I heard you want to become the world's greatest swordsman, right?"

Since entering the palace, Zoro had been on high alert, and he immediately sensed Mo Fei's approach.

Zoro still held Mo Fei in relatively high regard, after all, this man was a powerful figure who single-handedly ended the pirate era and had defeated more Yonko than he had ever seen.

“Senior, that is indeed my vision.”

Seeing Zoro's restrained expression, Mo Fei's face immediately broke into a wide smile.

The green-haired kid in front of him, who is ruthless to himself and even more ruthless to his enemies, is actually his favorite character among all the pirates.

His pursuit of his own beliefs made Mo Fei even more fond of him.

"I heard you've been training with Hawkeye lately, so your skills must have improved quite a bit. I have many sword masters under my command. How about I introduce you to them sometime so you can spar?"

For a martial arts fanatic like Zoro, the strategy should naturally start with his interests. A powerful opponent of the same type is exactly the kind of person he wants to meet.

The Dawn Legion, which has gathered almost all the top pirate fighters, is nothing short of a paradise for Zoro.

Zoro's performance was exactly as Mo Fei expected.

After hearing Mo Fei's words, the green-haired boy, who had just been wary and aloof, immediately became full of anticipation.

In the following time, Mo Fei, taking advantage of his understanding of the Straw Hat Pirates, talked with Nami, Usopp, Sanji, and others for a while, and successfully captured them after paying some price.

After a banquet, when Luffy arrived at the dueling arena with a solemn expression, more than half of the Straw Hat Pirates, who were already unstable due to the end of the Pirate Era, had sided with Mo Fei.

After all, being a pirate in today's pirate world is not an easy thing.

The current Divine Court has not only absorbed the power of all four Emperors, but also integrated the Revolutionary Army and the Navy, along with the armed forces of the World Government and its member states.

For such unstable factors as pirates, Mo Fei adopts a zero-tolerance attitude and will immediately annihilate them upon discovery.

With Kuma's airdrop, Azazel's teleportation ability, and the Sea Kings' blockade of the sea, the pirates were completely driven to the brink of despair.

The Straw Hat Pirates came to Mary Geoise because there is no longer any place for pirates to survive at sea.

……

In Mary Geoise's largest arena, Mo Fei, dressed casually, stared relaxedly at Luffy, who stood opposite him with a serious expression, ready for battle.

Compared to when we last met, Luffy is noticeably more composed now.

Perhaps due to the psychological trauma inflicted on him by Mo Fei, his personality became slightly more gloomy than it appears in the drama.

But those eyes, forever full of confidence and unwavering determination, still shine as brightly as ever.

"Luffy, I hope your training during this period will bring you enough progress. After all, I haven't found a worthy opponent in a long time."

In any fight, there is always one absolute truth: never be the one who strikes second.

As soon as he finished speaking, dressed in a black casual outfit, he burst into action, like an arrow released from a bow, and charged straight at Luffy, who had just activated Gear Second.

As the cracking sound of the bluestone floor, which he had used as leverage, rang out, Mo Fei's figure instantly traversed dozens of meters and approached Luffy's side.

"what……!"

This full-speed punch, covered in Armament Haki, created sonic booms as soon as it was unleashed, instantly knocking Luffy, who was attempting to block with a cross, back several steps.

"Huh! You've improved quite a bit! You can actually catch my punch now!" Looking at Luffy, whose arm instantly transformed into an armored form the moment his punch was about to land, Mo Fei's eyes couldn't help but gleam with fighting spirit.

At this moment, Luffy, due to the pressure from the punch he had just delivered, felt himself fully armed and inflated his arms, entering the Gear Fourth form of the Gum-Gum Fruit.

"Wow, you've even mastered Gear Fourth in such a short time! Luffy, your progress is truly impressive. Well then, I'll have some fun with you today."

"Dark Acupoint. Devour!"

Since obtaining the Dark-Dark Fruit, Mo Fei has been using it as a tool, but its practicality in combat is in no way inferior to other fruits.

Especially for users of the Battle Fruit, the Dark-Dark Fruit's ability to counter them has an innate suppressive effect.

Thick black mist surged wildly from Mo Fei's body, instantly forming a small black hole where he stood.

Its powerful attraction instantly sucked up and crushed all the surrounding soil and gravel.

Under Mo Fei's deliberate guidance, Luffy, who had just activated his Bounce Man form and taken to the air, was immediately locked in and pulled by a powerful gravitational pull, heading towards the black hole.

"Rubber King Ape Gun!"

This period of training has clearly enriched Luffy's combat experience considerably.

Sensing the terror of the hidden acupoints, he forcefully mustered his strength to temporarily break free from the pull. At the same time, he retracted his fist into his body, using the immense elasticity accumulated within him to suddenly launch his fist out again, striking towards Mo Fei.

The King Kong Gun, which could extend and retract freely and was covered in Armament Haki, carried the enormous power accumulated within Luffy's body and was instantly close to Mo Fei, leaving him no time to dodge.

Of course, perhaps he never intended to leave in the first place.

"boom……!"

Just as the Ape King's Gun was about to strike Mo Fei, a pink doll suddenly appeared directly in front of Mo Fei.

As dense black energy surged, the puppet instantly grew larger, just in time to block the impending punch for Mo Fei.

"Is this Charlotte Linlin, who was supposedly defeated by Doflamingo and turned into a doll?"

"Damn, he took a direct hit from Luffy's Gear Fourth King Kong Gun and didn't even flinch. What's the point of fighting like this?"

"Is this man really that strong? Once I become a great swordsman, will I have the strength to fight him?"

……

"Luffy, although you've improved quite a bit, you really don't put any pressure on me at all. Today I'll show you the difference in strength between us!"

Just as the old woman appeared and blocked Luffy's attack, another dragon-shaped puppet was thrown out by Mo Fei.

In a flash of light, the dragon-shaped Kaido had already returned to his normal size.

"Wei Guo!"

"Thunder gossip!"

As soon as they appeared, under Mo Fei's command, the two immediately unleashed their ultimate techniques, simultaneously targeting Luffy.

The enormous sword aura, tens of meters long, and the giant spiked club crackling with endless lightning struck Monkey D. Luffy, who was filled with fear and about to dodge, almost simultaneously.

"puff……!"

The combined attacks of two Yonko struck Luffy, who was already fully armed with Armament Haki and in Gear Fourth. He was instantly knocked away, coughing up blood.

"Thunderous Eight Trigrams, Slaughtering Gods and Saints!"

"Emperor's Sword: Broken Blade!"

The two puppets showed no mercy to Luffy, who was already severely injured and in a semi-conscious state.

Two even more powerful attacks were unleashed on the spot, instantly turning Luffy, who was already half-conscious, into a state of severe injury and near death.

"Luffy!"

"Stop it, we surrender."

……

The change happened so fast that the Straw Hat Pirates members watching from the sidelines didn't react until the puppet launched its second attack.

Sanji even used Moonwalk to leap off the platform and catch Luffy, who was on the verge of death.

However, just as he was about to angrily question him, the two puppets who had not received Mo Fei's order to stop had already come to Sanji's side like shadows.

"Uh!"

"Sanji, run!"

Two enormous weapons, each tens of meters long, created sonic booms as they slammed into Sanji, who was holding Luffy, amidst his incredulous gaze.

"what……!"

When Zoro, wielding two swords and biting his weapon, arrived to the rescue, Sanji's body was already thrown into the air like a withered blade of grass before crashing heavily to the ground.

"Sanji!"

"I suddenly changed my mind. If you, as the main characters of One Piece, don't die, I'll really be worried."

After all, a guy who didn't even get a chance to use four gears in just a few months... If I gave him more time, plus those wavering supporters back home, my generosity might become unstable."

Is the One Piece world perhaps intended to be used as a reserve base for recruiting high-quality soldiers, like the X world? Therefore, it is necessary to maintain a unified structure.

He hadn't thought much of it before, but after fighting Luffy today, he realized that the guy's progress was simply astonishing.

It's only been a few months since the last duel, but Luffy has already made great progress and mastered Gear Fourth and various types of Haki.

Then there's the Revolutionary Army and the Red-Haired Pirates who inexplicably surrendered, and finally, Luffy's sudden, uncharacteristic attitude today—wanting to end the Third Shinobi World War agreement.

Could it be that Luffy already guessed that some guys were up to no good? Although Luffy's attitude seems to suggest that he doesn't intend to go along with them, some things don't necessarily go according to one's subjective will.

Back in the day, Emperor Taizu of Zhao was also forced to become emperor by someone who put a yellow robe on him.

I'll be venturing into countless worlds in the future, so I won't have time to keep an eye on these people all the time. I might as well take this opportunity to clean up the rear.

"Doflamingo, we agreed it was just a friendly spar, why did you hit me so hard?"

With the fate of the captain and cook of the main crew now unknown, Zoro, as the number one fighter, was naturally furious.

If it weren't for the fact that the two puppets Mo Fei released were far too powerful, Zoro might have already drawn his sword and started fighting.

"Since this is supposed to be a friendly spar, do you spectators even follow the rules of a friendly spar?"
